The Xero for Hire Podcast

J. K. Slaughter

**Welcome to the Xero Hour, where I explore news and culture from an irreverent Christian perspective with a focus on divergent thinking. The road less traveled is definitely more interesting. I promise to bring you interesting and thought provoking stories about God, history, science, politics, current events and the occasional random nonsense that my life presents us with. I wanted to start by saying thanks for joining me on this journey. It"s going to be a lot of fun. xeroforhire.substack.com

2024/09/08

I wish I didn't have to defend the new Linkin Park, but some of y'all out here hating for weird reasons. I was scrolling through the comment section on the new music video, and reading how many retards are comparing the new singer to Chester. First of all, he's dead. You guys got to get over it. It's been more than 5 years the dude is not coming back. I get it. He's one of my favorite singers of all time and was inspirational to the way that I sang when I was in the rock band. But I got to tell you,

ARYA: This Comic Broke My Heart

The Xero for Hire Podcast ·

2024/08/14

Comic book writers like Kelly Thomson and Tee Franklin are taking beloved and well-known children's properties and distorting them, making them into perverted versions of themselves while introducing all types of sexual deviance and mental illness. They're not responsible for this particular project. This was more of a group effort, perpetuated toward the beginning of 2017 by what appears to be Tumblr artists. It was a well-intentioned and good-hearted attempt to showcase Indie creators. But what we

Update Your Thinking

The way that we used to think about things and the things that we were told about how the world works aren't lining up anymore, and so it might be time to consider that you were either being lied to or that you're just wrong. Or maybe you've just changed it and haven't taken the time to update your thinking. I talk a lot about this in today's episode. This is a public episode.

"Don't be divisive": again, because of the election coming up. But Christians are intrinsically divisive. Christ talks about this in the new testament. We're not divisive for the sake of conflict, but we are divisive
